lol "Time's Arrow" is like a loving Dr Who episode. What a  to TNG S05, which was really building up to a be a good one with some amazing closing hits.I think I'm going to pretend The Inner Light was the actual S05 finale but someone hosed up the admin.

Watching Tin Man. Nothing major happening yet but I'm excited just because of the title

Interested to know why the Enterprise officers who recognize this guy like him so much they were directed to smile until their faces hurt.

Troi knows the guy coming aboard, I wonder if she'll get seduced by him.

I love that the telepath is startled by Data. I somehow missed exactly what he's supposed to be doing aboard the enterprise in the cold open.

Data just said D'aradex cruiser, does that count as a contraction?

I have to give them credit for another betazoid characterization that makes sense. Between Troi, her mother, and The Sleazeman, I thought they'd covered all the interesting ways a telepathic personality could work.

Those orchestral hits when the Romulan ship reveals itself are the most forceful I've heard in the soundtrack up to this point.

That episode had a good premise, but the execution... I can't put my finger on exactly why it didn't grab me. I spent a lot of it confused about exactly what was going on and what I was supposed to be feeling.

I mean gently caress, they're making new Stargate, and Stargate is entirely a thing for gigantic nerds, it doesn't have any cultural impact like Star Trek or Star Wars.

It also ran for seventeen cumulative seasons, and SG-1 is the second longest running American sci-fi series ever. Of course they want those dollar signs.

The Stargate thing is a prequel? How do you do a prequel of stargate? Is it just an air force missile base procedural?

Central character is the old lady who got Daniel Jackson involved in the program. Also sounded like it's just a miniseries but they haven't given much in the way of details.

Despite multiple attempts I've never been able to make it past Season 1 of SG-1. It's just so... not good. And you can only see the same forest in British Columbia so many times before you get bored out your gourd.

Is the Stargate series sort of "instead of" the movie? As in, there is no continuity of any kind between them?

The series is a direct sequel to the movie.

They're related, but the show vastly expands the concept and also makes O'neill likeable.

And the show is distinctly more militaristic...although my memory of the movie is fairly fuzzy.

It seems to be about the old woman who finds Daniel in the film, but when she was younger. So, from what I remember, that would mean the stargate isn't activated?

One of my favourite things I've read about the Stargate movie is that Spader signed on to play Daniel Jackson because he thought the script was one of the worst things he'd read and he was morbidly interested in seeing if they could make a working movie out of it.

I meant more the tone - scientists were regularly shown to be weak or naive, plenty of issues eventually wound up being solved with force. Part and parcel, sure, but it was a lot more problematic when I went back to watch some episodes, which may say more about me and our current context than the show itself.

Aren't they basically actual military uniforms? (It's been forever since I've seen an episode, I never really sat down and followed the show)
